New Rotors

Postby zoomzoom6 » Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:14

F2 has graciously supplied me with some drilled & slotted rotors. And I can't wait to install them... :61424796:

Lol. I didn't get them for free. After I re-read my initial post I see how it can be inferred that they were free. They have a great deal on them right now for $280.00 for the rotors and a set of brake pads. Thought it was a snag so I jumped on it.

F2's own brand. They produce both the rotors and pads.

Make sure to bed the pads/rotors in really well when you first install them.

I'm shocked that the bedding procedures aren't with the rotors and pads.

You are going to need to tell me how those rotors work out. I've been going back and forth between similar ones and powerslot rotors for the front.

Thanks. That cleared up a few things.

What? It is with the rotors and pads. I'm confused as to what you're talking about.

Will do! I'm hoping it will keep the brakes a little bit cooler as well as try and dissipate SOME of the break dust issues I'm having.
